The Secret Behind Mexico's Best Carnitas | Michoacán

Michoacán is known as the birthplace of carnitas, but not everyone makes them the same way. In this documentary, we travel through Michoacán and the US to meet 2 men who both claim to make authentic carnitas using nothing more than pork, salt, and water. The ingredients are identical, yet their methods couldn't be more different. Along the way, we visit massive copper cazos handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre, explore the streets of Quiroga. It's the carnitas capital of Mexico. We also learn why generations of cooks have dedicated their lives to perfecting this iconic dish. Some stir the cazo. Others never touch it. Some swear their method is the only correct way. But in the end, the question remains: Can two completely different techniques produce the same legendary carnitas? Filmed in Michoacán Mexico, Tacambaro Mexico, Anaheim California and Las Vegas Nevada.
